Talk:Tween (disambiguation)

Inappropriate image
Do people think it appropriate to have an (arguably) sexually provocative image on a young girl on a page about 8-12 year olds? I have removed it. BernardSumption 09:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Reverting of changes
I reverted the changes made by. There was not enough room to explain in the edit summary, so I am explaining here. -- Powers 12:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) A link to preteen is important as long as both articles (Tween (demographics) and preteen) exist.
 * 2) "Tween" is not the name of a specific hobbit, it is a description of a phase of the hobbit lifespan.
 * 3) The link to the jargon file is appropriate in the absence of an article on the subject. The text alone provides insufficient context to understand the meaning.

Tween → Tween (disambiguation) – It seems clear to me that Preadolescence is primary topic. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:52, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Support of course per nom Red Slash 04:38, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Note--tweens should also redirect there (it currently redirects here) Red Slash 20:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Oiyarbepsy and Red Slash, I don't understand this WP:Requested move. There is no Tween article (Oiyarbepsy merged the Tween (demographic) article into the Preadolescence article); therefore, there is no need for the Tween title to be disambiguated. Flyer22 (talk) 04:45, 30 March 2015 (UTC)


 * In other words, WP:Disambiguation is clear. If there was a Tween article, it would get the un-disambiguated Tween title, unless merged into the Preadolescence article, and the other tween matters would be covered at Tween (disambiguation). But in this case, there is no companion piece to Tween (disambiguation), so we would be unnecessarily disambiguating. Flyer22 (talk) 04:52, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * After the rename, Tween would become a redirect to Preadolescence. Sorry, I should have mentioned that up-front. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:30, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I mean, WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT exists... Red Slash 20:55, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oiyarbepsy and Red Slash, I see; I have therefore struck my oppose vote above; I now support the move. Flyer22 (talk) 00:39, 31 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Support, overwhelming primary redirect topic. bd2412  T 16:44, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - no evidence presented at all that tween as a reference to "preadolescence" is primary. I haven't even heard of that usage, and in any case Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang. I think of either the tweenies (CBeebies) characters, or the Hobbit term. Readers are best served by a disambig here. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Rather amusing that you say we provide no evidence and then simply state you've never heard of it. For evidence, I'll start with the really easy one: https://www.google.com/search?q=tween - Google search, an entire first page that is almost entirely about kids between 10-14, an a single entry on a software animation program. Similar results for later pages, mostly preadolesence, an occasional reference to animation. CBeebies and Hobbits don't even register, aside from the mention in our own article on preadolescence.
